ethtool: Add transceiver module extended state
Add an extended state and sub-state to describe link issues related to transceiver modules. The 'ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_MODULE_CMIS_NOT_READY' extended sub-state tells user space that port is unable to gain a carrier because the CMIS Module State Machine did not reach the ModuleReady (Fully Operational) state. For example, if the module is stuck at ModuleLowPwr or ModuleFault state. In case of the latter, user space can read the fault reason from the module's EEPROM and potentially reset it.
